International Retail Product Identification

Standard Modulo 10 Check-Digit & GS1 Retail Formatting

EAN-13 is the primary barcode standard used on consumer goods worldwide. It consists of a 12-digit GTIN payload and a calculated 13th check digit.

Modifyle automatically computes the modulo 10 check digit if you enter 12 digits, ensuring your generated barcode meets strict scanner requirements.

Important Technical Distinctions & Limitations
  • EAN-13 only encodes 13 numeric digits. For North American retail, use UPC-A (/tools/barcode/upc-a). For alphanumeric tracking, use Code 128 (/tools/barcode/code-128).
  • You must obtain an official GS1 company prefix to generate globally unique product barcodes for commercial retail distribution.
